#240 Eating Issues and Disorders: What Moms Can Do
In this episode, we talk to an expert on adolescence and eating disorders. We cover a lot of territory, from what teens need for their brain and overall health, to what moms can do when their teens skip meals. What are healthy snacks for teens? When should parents be concerned with weight gain? Or if they should be concerned? We also explore the signs of eating disorders (bulimia, anorexia, binge eating) and what moms can do. How do eating disorders look different in teenage boys?
